You regulate facts and you protect opinion and that is the way it works. What the EU is up too is clutching at straws because of the mess they have made in allowing mass immigration of cultures that most emphatically do not want to assimilate, they want to dominate, to control, they come from autocratic cultures, where they strong are fully entitled to dominate and control the weak. So now they have a real problem because those autocrat culture types are waking up the independent types and a real culture clash is forming or has formed and is now getting worse. Any kind of false flag trigger could set of the migrants to start willy nilly killing existing citizens in large numbers, a huge problem and one that will hang over their heads, until those who have no desire to assimilate are removed.
Look at Sweden, it really demonstrates the reality of the problem of denial. They pretended to welcome in people in the past but they where never really welcomed, never really integrated, sort of just dumped in a region and politicians would turn up every now and again to provide lip service and no action. Any comment about this was systematically attacked and quite ruthlessly by the government, who felt if you just kept it silenced, kept it tamped down, it would just simple evaporate away. In reality it just festered and got worse and worse and in the most spectacularly blindly stupid fashion, after believing their own bullshit, they decide to pour massive amounts of fuel onto the existing fire. Swedes like to pretend they accept and integrate migrants but it ain't true, they are rejected and isolated within the country and having more makes it much worse, but the Swedes like the PR and got trapped in it, they are right fucked now. The Germans in the most stupid fashion then attempted to out do this stupidity and have now created a problem for the entire EU. I am not a racist but make no mistake I am a culturalist and have no shame in being so, fuck shitty cultures, isolate and kept them at a distance, a well protected distance, fuck wasting time, capital and our citizens lives on trying and failing to change their cultures and the only reason it happens in reality is so that multi-national corporations can steal resources from those ugly cultures.
Why the fuck wimp out, your country, your fucking network, grind on the fuckers until they wimp out. The ugly dumb bastard is the most hated troll on the entire internet and I mean globally. Pretty much has become the ultimate internet zero, a vacuum that draws hate and loathing from the entire public spectrum. You can bet they will stab him in the back because basically the scummy git's presence in anything is a massive negative, you could not employ, contract with or in any way associate with them, without major negative connotations. The other FCC commissioners are pushing back because they do not want to be sullied by associating with the dick. It is all rather hilarious because the more they push, logarithmically, the greater and more aggressively the push back, the more it is bringing together greater and greater opposition to the establishment. Honestly, they want to keep control and they would have to establish martial law, pretty much a couple of months ago, try it now and it will blow up in their face so bad (Trump in his arrogance driven ignorance is the gift they keeps on giving). Trying to achieve total censorship of the US internet via the abolition of net neutrality, is a really dumb thing to try, a desperate move by the truly panicky, really, really, fearful of being prosecuted for all their crimes, the assets confiscated and spending the rest of their lives in prison.
Besides, who wants the end of the patriot act. It took Israel and Saudi Arabia working together with the silence of the US government to crash planes into buildings, murdering a whole bunch of people and murdering more with a pretty blatant false flag anthrax attack to bring in those laws (they even had to set up a patsy and suicide them to get away with it, do you want to be the next patsy). Do you seriously want the Israelis to murder more Americans, how many next time, tens of thousands to force those laws back in, so the Israeli government can control the American people, are you willing to pay that price again? It certainly seems like you have zero interest in prosecuting the crimes of the Israeli government against the American people. Drop the patriot act and they will attack you again to force it back in, total control of the American people all of the time, by the government, not the US government of course but the Israeli government, you guys are gullible schmucks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Learn to accept you are puppets of the highest bidder and they wont make you suffer as much, oh you will still suffer but not as much.
Too which the response is, "fine, if I can't have it than, fuck you, you can't have it either". You do that by shifting the encryption coding bit to FOSS, as a network add on and they can try to stick the back door in free open source code, which you can locally compile and then add to you software than lacks a network connection module. The encrypted network connection module can be served up by anyone and if they really need to hack your computer, they can hand you a national security letter and demand you hack yourself or just fucking apply for a search warrant and get busy with cameras and wires and people in the field, no 'bullshit control freak spy a thon for you' more specifically them. There was a time due to US regulation I had to download 128 bit encryption from the internet and install it myself, so, so hard, to do it again, in fact the US government drove FOSS encryption.
The reality is Trump is pretty dim. You do not need private spies, you just need private analysts and demand you spies provide unfiltered evidence, no evidence, tell them to go back to work. Don't worry about fake evidence, you have good analysts and they will punch holes right through it. Don't trust contractors ever, they are bound by the demands of profit, to tell you what ever generates the most profit, just like they already do and hence the chaos. The corporation have corrupted a lot of people via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... A filtering project, where corrupt corporate executives establish contacts with the readily corruptible and via lobbyists and corrupt politicians they make sure the corrupted get promoted (then act as double agents against the government to serve the interests of corporations). There are plenty within FBI/NSA/CIA that are fully aware of the corruption but are afraid to do something about it, shame to live in fear and really rather pathetic, when it is corrupt who should truly fear your courage, especially when you display it publicly. Trump was a fool that hired those who could never really ever be friends, just acquaintances always looking to stab you in the back for their personal advantage, rather than the best people for the job.
Why bother, just MIP and leave the phones behind and see how they try to Gestapo treat that security (meet in person). Need to spread a message, simply go back to school and pass hand written notes. The German crap is about mind control, infesting the mind of ordinary citizens they are being watching 24/7 on a prison planet ( https://www.prisonplanet.com/ , heh heh, sometimes these people are right and sometimes when they have no stories for their kind of reporting, tabloid, they make stuff up, just like the tabloids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...). It is evil shit and the reality is prior to this all citizens should have a back door into their government and it's departments first. The right to look any where at any time into any action by their government or it's agencies, secrecy in government is primarily there to serve corruption and nothing else.
Cough, cough but if you are getting hurt being caught in the middle, simply step to one side and let the morons go at it, who cares. Amazon want to be dicks, simply stop using them. Google want to be control freaks than https://duckduckgo.com/?q=amaz... or https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ebay....
The only sound consumer response, what to control freak dicks, fine, fuck off and use some one else. Sure maybe takes a little getting used to swapping to say https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck... but it works well enough and you can escape Google's political bullshit. As for Amazon, simply use them as a shopping service and than fuck them over by buying direct, once you have found the product, remind the actual seller, they get to keep Amazons profit.
Believe it or not, it will not cause you pain and suffering to stop using either Google or Amazon, just companies that abuse their customers, ohh and look at the spat and on display hypocrisy when they do it to each other, instead of us. So join their game and seek to fuck them over all of the time and see how they like it, it will hurt them way more than it hurts you;).
More simply, fuzzy logic programmers with the ability to create a false impression of artificial intelligence with great marketing. Keep in mind major corporations are playing the game and playing it for big profits. Just like with data mining, which produces a lot of information, in fact way more than you are capable of processing effectively so heh, heh, AI, to keep the lie going and the billions flowing. You can just data mine, you need to pay extra for AI to process it, we promise it will work this time, think of the billions in profit, the pot of gold at the end of the AI rainbow (PS that pot is gone, they already took it, along with the intelligence of the people who paid for that crap). Currently the only system actually approaching an AI in any meaningful way is the internet, as a whole, including the users of it and intercommunications AI, carrying human thought.
Computer animation has allowed a lot of animated crap to be produced and as computers grow in capability, so the volume of animated content will increase and quite dramatically. It will completely undercut live acted content, it just wont be able to compete the with sheer volume of animated material. Think virtual robots, doing the acting and that includes scenery objects as well as the actors. Basically script engineer an animated work and the computer will generate the animations based upon the models provided.
I am old school, I watch star trek for a star trek story, serve me up milking it crap like Jar Jar Abrahms did and simply fuck those movies, no interest in the, destroyed a franchise for short term profit. So Star Trek, rebooted, meh Star Trek is dead, it's a different content franchise I have no interest, TV series is even worse than the movies and that took real effort. Only watched one episode and that will likely be ever, men, don't care. New content will come out, I really enjoyed the Stargate Series, a lot of fun. New story series will come out and replace the old much like Orville is replacing reboottrek. In the future, animation will kill crap like reboottrek, just won't be able to compete and nobody will care.
For the rest of the more modern, democratic and free world (not the USA, rapidly degenerating into a corrupt autocracy), people are not actually cutting the cable, so much as replacing it with a better one, a more open one, one they share with the rest of the world and where all the worlds content will compete. You have seen nothing yet, the really big moment starts with effective and invisible auto translate services and then you will really see the Artificial Intelligence that is the Earth's computer network, really take off in surprising ways.
Some will violently resist, exposure to a world of ideas, they should simply be shunned and avoided, the path the US seems to be taking (the one being shunned and avoided by the rest, perhaps sharing that distinction with Saudi Arabia, Israel and North Korea), at least the government and the corrupt individuals who control it to serve their own individual interests.
PS Picking on Israel not for what they are doing to Palestinians but for what they are doing to Americans and their democracy, doing more to corrupt US democracy than any other country and in a very destructive and costly manner (they are even training US police forces to treat US citizens just like the Israelis treat Palestinians, you guys have to wake up to yourselves and kick the Israelis out of your government).
So you bought into fake money, where the originators ground out something like fifty percent of the available coins, what, to make them rich? Watch out for the bitcoin bomb, it is bitcoin holders who are at the moment being set up to be mined for the real currency.
More simply to eliminate type 2 diabetes, stop eating sugar based foods (not the simpletons version of sugar but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., soluble carbohydrates and that means the other carbohydrates are also problematic.
So don't eat sugar, so that you can eat sugar but if you do, you wont be able to eat sugar and repeat. So just get used to a reduced sugar meal plan (not a diet, fill your self up but on the right low sugar foods but keep in minds other things are dying so that you can live so don't make a 1% style pig out of yourself, be a little bit progressively conservative, heh heh).
No need to ban bitcoin, it is in the process of being destroyed by big money interests, they will of course be dumping it once they can push it high enough (balance between how much is spent driving it up and how fast it drops in value going down). Up, down, up, down, up down, sort of almost up and then down and out. I reckon they will managed at least three squeezing blood from a stone cycles, or with sufficient main stream media deceitful marketing up to five fully solid blood letting cycles, don't say you weren't warned.
It will help if you do not think of thought as being a stationary state in the brain. Think of it more as repeating thought patterns, happening over and over again, a lopping structure into which new input is added and output is produced upon repeated continuous basis. Sort of like a train track, going round and round, with new inputs added to the train and new outputs dropped off by the train. Change thought and you shut to another track and the new input output pattern must be generated. Some people can maintain more independently running tracks than others and some can produce far more complex tracks than others. Added to those main tracks are smaller local tracks, the monitors picking up the inputs they are aimed at, filtering and passing them on for further processing.
How it will work in the medium term future. Renewables as the main energy with nuclear as back up but also powering high energy recycling to create zero waste cities, converting all waste back into useful raw materials. The big growth in new power stations, interconnected suburbs with solar panels and batteries, even domestic vertical axis wind turbines (low) noise, the burbs supplying power for the rest of the city, with every roof fully covered in solar panels, power station already built, just need the energy generators.
Ethics, what fucking ethics. Straight off the cuff, what the fuck, I am a proud Latina, what the fuck does that even me, so fucking what, should other races be ashamed or less proud or more proud, why isn't it wearing unisex clothing to hold to SJW google marketing bullshit (we demand all google staff wear unisex clothing else the discriminate against others). An shallow exercise if Google indoctrination, the Google logo drilled into the brains of minors, really lame. From M$ of course a shameless plug for minecraft. As for Star Wars, seriously screw Disney, one should not be promoting war in schools, bugger your merchandising. Get them early, own them for life, it's like teenage rebellion does not even exist, you will pay for you scammy bullshit when those children you are attacking with bullshit marketing become young adults and truly hate you.
Would you prefer mud monkey as in ie earth primate. From a galactic point of view you could be racist against all humans, let's not be bigoted, OK (not a white power sign on earth or any other planet in the galaxy).
Typical examples of free speech that is most emphatically illegal, fraud and in the US where money is speech, trying to hire an assassin. Free speech is really the right to freely express your opinion and not an open right to make false claim of fact or to actively incite conflict or in a democracy deny the public the right to all facts that could affect their vote ie it is illegal for government to corruptly use tax payer money to keep secrets from that taxpayer that would affect their vote, that would be an electoral crime (censorship is speech, your speech silencing others, one must censor the censors in order to maintain the free opinions of others).
You kind of pointed to the escape ie don't install windows 10 and problem gone and I smell the US government and security letters in the back of all of this. Compulsory software installs, now that's some big brother shit right there.
They both invade you privacy like you have no right to it what so ever, not at any time of the day or night. The only thing of any interest to most smart tech buyers is where to buy a corporate licensed version of Windows anal probe 10, the one without the anal probe, the actually secure version where you can stop M$ installing software against your wishes the second you try to connect to the internet.
Now if that is what they were trying to secure things would not be so bad but we all know what they are really trying so hard to secure, all the corruption and graft going on at the highest level and all the purposefully generated bullshit to feed it. Nuclear weapon design, yeah because why, with out the industrial and technical capacity even with the design you can not make one and with the industrial and technical capacity you can make your own. When it comes to nuclear weapons, size counts for fuck all, once it is big enough, it is big enough and any bigger just makes the rubble 'er' smaller. Secrets today are all about hiding rampant corruption.
He is complaining that the great scam of mass internet corporate censorship is coming undone, not that he gives a fuck either way but no big payout for him for failing to pushing it through and they will fire his ass. They would of course also fire him for succeeding but the idiot does not know that (why fire for success because the guy is not hated as fuck and simply is a extremely undesirable as a public face for any organisation, so they would/will dump the idiot either way). Just look at the dude and they way he is carrying out, employed to do one thing and one thing only get rid of net neutrality and not even the best person for the job, just the one dumb enough to take it, thinking he was gaining access to the big time, becoming a insider, a future 'haves more'. In terms of internet geekery, I could not thing of a more hated person globally (he is become pretty much the epitome of all that is evil on the corporate controlled internet).
I know it ain't digital but I remember going to the fish and chippery and buying sixpence worth of chips fried in render pig fat was enough to feed a family of four (with four fish added) and watching the Sunday night movies that come on after the Walt Disney show (lard is so much better than vegetable oils, no comparison). Cars also went through interesting changes at that time, keep in mind in those days, the old cars the poor teens could afford are today's expensive vintage vehicles. The big tech, cassette taps and hearing your recorded voice for the first time. Speaking of old, I remember sharing beers with an old chap and him recollecting them time, when car first appeared in his town, when he was younger. The analogue recording of memories, so many lost thoughts.
Hey, lets not get bigoted about letters, why less letters, more letters are OK (and not a white power sign) too. So septic tank becomes yank becomes American, don't take offence at the seppo bit it was world war II and everyone was a little tense at the time.
When it comes to airspace there is an altitude limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so somewhere between 30km and 160km. I know Americans are blindly egoistic but hey, don't get the rest of us caught up in your desire to claim the entire galaxy with unlimited altitude above the US as it rotates and orbits the sun, so no the entire galaxy is not in US airspace. Not to forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... are not territorial waters, just an economic grab agreed to claim resources beyond the territorial zone.
So mainly unfair risky behaviour in terms of declaring crash zone to ensure vessel remain clear and prior notification for safety reason. When it comes to the launch, so what, just a big ole waste of money that could be better spent on other things.
Reality is for all the MAD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... crap, sure balistic missiles are the crazy fuck arse way to go but for smaller countries and stand off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., make a lot more sense. Sure they can't really target inland cities but coastal cities are wide open to that attack and of course nuclear torpedoes create a very effective stand off defence for the submarine armed with them. They just need to be fired in the general direction and detonated, not when they are near the target but when they are sufficient far enough away from the firing submarine to not destroy itself. (it is also a whole lot slower, kind of waiting for each major coastal city to fall over the following weeks, quite ugly really)
Why the missiles, all show and no go, the torpedoes simply can not be demonstrated without 'er' being demonstrated in a rather undesirable fashion. The US just wants to steal other less advanced countries resources and the rest is blather and bullshit. This is not even a function of the US government, but the tail wagging the dog, US corporations driving the US government to chaotic insanity trying to pursue idiotic plots and schemes to feed insatiable greed, the more they have, the more they want and trying to sate that greed is destroying the US. So two idiots are poking each other on a public stage and the rest of the world is getting to the, just fuck off stage and that is for BOTH countries.
I look at this story and see only one thing, a corrupt bipartisan effort to digitally corrupt upcoming elections behind the lies of securing it and surprise, surprise with the help of killing net neutrality, the 99% are all trolls to be censored and full of nothing but lies and propaganda and the 1% are descended from Gods and are to be believed in everything they say. They are still carrying on with this shit with zero public evidence, they are corrupt and fucking lying and about to try to get a whole lot more corrupt.
After over a year, still no evidence publicly provided apart from all the evidence of corruption with the US government, the Democrats and the Republicans, evidence all over the place and the proof of corruption, the continued failure to prosecute. So bipartisan, well that is a typical description of US politics to right parties sharing power and as for Harvard http://lesswrong.com/lw/jwh/wh... and https://www.glassdoor.com/Revi... and https://www.therichest.com/ric.... Yes 'Hardvard' a paragon of virtue, integrity and honesty, fuck you people will believe any dribble the 1% serve (this crap absolutely stinks to high heaven of corruption).
How about a bite of reality. Trying to hire people sucks. Obviously you have not gone through hundreds of hopefuls, trying to wipe out as many as possible as quickly as possible. Then after winnowing the interviews, more lost time. Anything you can stick in to help winnow down the list of applicants is good, it is excellent and same with interviews, the fewer the better.
So college degree for numb skulls, well, at least you have fucking proved you can make it though all the bullshit of college and crappy team projects (fucking ugh) and mindless meetings by the legion and of course you can make it through the stress of exams (consider yourself stress tested). That is at least a start and for those that didn't, well tough fucking luck, your applications where the easy kills, binned in minutes. Nothing against you, just keep fucking in mind, your application is one in hundreds of applications and any excuse to reduce that number easily is great.
PS some people might enjoy that shit because they are narcissists and psychopaths but most hate it, it is awful, a real coin toss as to which is worse applying for a job or having to go through all the applications to finally get to the hopefully right employee (else do it all over again). Generally hiring by word of mouth is best, you know referral of a referral and you know what, meeting people at university, surprise, surprise, is really fucking good for that (children of management/lecturers/employers staff/sabbaticals/masters/doctorates). It is not what you know it is who you know and yeah, university provide a bunch of connections, plan your career to succeed in it.

So you bought into fake money, where the originators ground out something like fifty percent of the available coins, what, to make them rich? Watch out for the bitcoin bomb, it is bitcoin holders who are at the moment being set up to be mined for the real currency.
More simply to eliminate type 2 diabetes, stop eating sugar based foods (not the simpletons version of sugar but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., soluble carbohydrates and that means the other carbohydrates are also problematic.
So don't eat sugar, so that you can eat sugar but if you do, you wont be able to eat sugar and repeat. So just get used to a reduced sugar meal plan (not a diet, fill your self up but on the right low sugar foods but keep in minds other things are dying so that you can live so don't make a 1% style pig out of yourself, be a little bit progressively conservative, heh heh).
No need to ban bitcoin, it is in the process of being destroyed by big money interests, they will of course be dumping it once they can push it high enough (balance between how much is spent driving it up and how fast it drops in value going down). Up, down, up, down, up down, sort of almost up and then down and out. I reckon they will managed at least three squeezing blood from a stone cycles, or with sufficient main stream media deceitful marketing up to five fully solid blood letting cycles, don't say you weren't warned.
It will help if you do not think of thought as being a stationary state in the brain. Think of it more as repeating thought patterns, happening over and over again, a lopping structure into which new input is added and output is produced upon repeated continuous basis. Sort of like a train track, going round and round, with new inputs added to the train and new outputs dropped off by the train. Change thought and you shut to another track and the new input output pattern must be generated. Some people can maintain more independently running tracks than others and some can produce far more complex tracks than others. Added to those main tracks are smaller local tracks, the monitors picking up the inputs they are aimed at, filtering and passing them on for further processing.
How it will work in the medium term future. Renewables as the main energy with nuclear as back up but also powering high energy recycling to create zero waste cities, converting all waste back into useful raw materials. The big growth in new power stations, interconnected suburbs with solar panels and batteries, even domestic vertical axis wind turbines (low) noise, the burbs supplying power for the rest of the city, with every roof fully covered in solar panels, power station already built, just need the energy generators.
Ethics, what fucking ethics. Straight off the cuff, what the fuck, I am a proud Latina, what the fuck does that even me, so fucking what, should other races be ashamed or less proud or more proud, why isn't it wearing unisex clothing to hold to SJW google marketing bullshit (we demand all google staff wear unisex clothing else the discriminate against others). An shallow exercise if Google indoctrination, the Google logo drilled into the brains of minors, really lame. From M$ of course a shameless plug for minecraft. As for Star Wars, seriously screw Disney, one should not be promoting war in schools, bugger your merchandising. Get them early, own them for life, it's like teenage rebellion does not even exist, you will pay for you scammy bullshit when those children you are attacking with bullshit marketing become young adults and truly hate you.
Would you prefer mud monkey as in ie earth primate. From a galactic point of view you could be racist against all humans, let's not be bigoted, OK (not a white power sign on earth or any other planet in the galaxy).
Typical examples of free speech that is most emphatically illegal, fraud and in the US where money is speech, trying to hire an assassin. Free speech is really the right to freely express your opinion and not an open right to make false claim of fact or to actively incite conflict or in a democracy deny the public the right to all facts that could affect their vote ie it is illegal for government to corruptly use tax payer money to keep secrets from that taxpayer that would affect their vote, that would be an electoral crime (censorship is speech, your speech silencing others, one must censor the censors in order to maintain the free opinions of others).
You kind of pointed to the escape ie don't install windows 10 and problem gone and I smell the US government and security letters in the back of all of this. Compulsory software installs, now that's some big brother shit right there.
They both invade you privacy like you have no right to it what so ever, not at any time of the day or night. The only thing of any interest to most smart tech buyers is where to buy a corporate licensed version of Windows anal probe 10, the one without the anal probe, the actually secure version where you can stop M$ installing software against your wishes the second you try to connect to the internet.
Now if that is what they were trying to secure things would not be so bad but we all know what they are really trying so hard to secure, all the corruption and graft going on at the highest level and all the purposefully generated bullshit to feed it. Nuclear weapon design, yeah because why, with out the industrial and technical capacity even with the design you can not make one and with the industrial and technical capacity you can make your own. When it comes to nuclear weapons, size counts for fuck all, once it is big enough, it is big enough and any bigger just makes the rubble 'er' smaller. Secrets today are all about hiding rampant corruption.
He is complaining that the great scam of mass internet corporate censorship is coming undone, not that he gives a fuck either way but no big payout for him for failing to pushing it through and they will fire his ass. They would of course also fire him for succeeding but the idiot does not know that (why fire for success because the guy is not hated as fuck and simply is a extremely undesirable as a public face for any organisation, so they would/will dump the idiot either way). Just look at the dude and they way he is carrying out, employed to do one thing and one thing only get rid of net neutrality and not even the best person for the job, just the one dumb enough to take it, thinking he was gaining access to the big time, becoming a insider, a future 'haves more'. In terms of internet geekery, I could not thing of a more hated person globally (he is become pretty much the epitome of all that is evil on the corporate controlled internet).
I know it ain't digital but I remember going to the fish and chippery and buying sixpence worth of chips fried in render pig fat was enough to feed a family of four (with four fish added) and watching the Sunday night movies that come on after the Walt Disney show (lard is so much better than vegetable oils, no comparison). Cars also went through interesting changes at that time, keep in mind in those days, the old cars the poor teens could afford are today's expensive vintage vehicles. The big tech, cassette taps and hearing your recorded voice for the first time. Speaking of old, I remember sharing beers with an old chap and him recollecting them time, when car first appeared in his town, when he was younger. The analogue recording of memories, so many lost thoughts.
Hey, lets not get bigoted about letters, why less letters, more letters are OK (and not a white power sign) too. So septic tank becomes yank becomes American, don't take offence at the seppo bit it was world war II and everyone was a little tense at the time.
When it comes to airspace there is an altitude limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so somewhere between 30km and 160km. I know Americans are blindly egoistic but hey, don't get the rest of us caught up in your desire to claim the entire galaxy with unlimited altitude above the US as it rotates and orbits the sun, so no the entire galaxy is not in US airspace. Not to forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... are not territorial waters, just an economic grab agreed to claim resources beyond the territorial zone.
So mainly unfair risky behaviour in terms of declaring crash zone to ensure vessel remain clear and prior notification for safety reason. When it comes to the launch, so what, just a big ole waste of money that could be better spent on other things.
Reality is for all the MAD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... crap, sure balistic missiles are the crazy fuck arse way to go but for smaller countries and stand off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., make a lot more sense. Sure they can't really target inland cities but coastal cities are wide open to that attack and of course nuclear torpedoes create a very effective stand off defence for the submarine armed with them. They just need to be fired in the general direction and detonated, not when they are near the target but when they are sufficient far enough away from the firing submarine to not destroy itself. (it is also a whole lot slower, kind of waiting for each major coastal city to fall over the following weeks, quite ugly really)
Why the missiles, all show and no go, the torpedoes simply can not be demonstrated without 'er' being demonstrated in a rather undesirable fashion. The US just wants to steal other less advanced countries resources and the rest is blather and bullshit. This is not even a function of the US government, but the tail wagging the dog, US corporations driving the US government to chaotic insanity trying to pursue idiotic plots and schemes to feed insatiable greed, the more they have, the more they want and trying to sate that greed is destroying the US. So two idiots are poking each other on a public stage and the rest of the world is getting to the, just fuck off stage and that is for BOTH countries.
I look at this story and see only one thing, a corrupt bipartisan effort to digitally corrupt upcoming elections behind the lies of securing it and surprise, surprise with the help of killing net neutrality, the 99% are all trolls to be censored and full of nothing but lies and propaganda and the 1% are descended from Gods and are to be believed in everything they say. They are still carrying on with this shit with zero public evidence, they are corrupt and fucking lying and about to try to get a whole lot more corrupt.
After over a year, still no evidence publicly provided apart from all the evidence of corruption with the US government, the Democrats and the Republicans, evidence all over the place and the proof of corruption, the continued failure to prosecute. So bipartisan, well that is a typical description of US politics to right parties sharing power and as for Harvard http://lesswrong.com/lw/jwh/wh... and https://www.glassdoor.com/Revi... and https://www.therichest.com/ric.... Yes 'Hardvard' a paragon of virtue, integrity and honesty, fuck you people will believe any dribble the 1% serve (this crap absolutely stinks to high heaven of corruption).
How about a bite of reality. Trying to hire people sucks. Obviously you have not gone through hundreds of hopefuls, trying to wipe out as many as possible as quickly as possible. Then after winnowing the interviews, more lost time. Anything you can stick in to help winnow down the list of applicants is good, it is excellent and same with interviews, the fewer the better.
So college degree for numb skulls, well, at least you have fucking proved you can make it though all the bullshit of college and crappy team projects (fucking ugh) and mindless meetings by the legion and of course you can make it through the stress of exams (consider yourself stress tested). That is at least a start and for those that didn't, well tough fucking luck, your applications where the easy kills, binned in minutes. Nothing against you, just keep fucking in mind, your application is one in hundreds of applications and any excuse to reduce that number easily is great.
PS some people might enjoy that shit because they are narcissists and psychopaths but most hate it, it is awful, a real coin toss as to which is worse applying for a job or having to go through all the applications to finally get to the hopefully right employee (else do it all over again). Generally hiring by word of mouth is best, you know referral of a referral and you know what, meeting people at university, surprise, surprise, is really fucking good for that (children of management/lecturers/employers staff/sabbaticals/masters/doctorates). It is not what you know it is who you know and yeah, university provide a bunch of connections, plan your career to succeed in it.
